    Good question!

    The disgusting flavor experience. The cheez-it added a salty off taste to every bite also even extra sour cream couldn't make it less dry and unpleasant( while also being somehow soggy). I will note the Nacho cheese does not pair well with Cheez-it flavoring either.

    I’ve had one. I thought it was fine though they need to remove the word “crunch” because nothing about it was crunchy.

    Pizza hut used these abominations recently and I think Yum Brands needs to be destroyed
    The original Cheez-it is a perfect snack food. Taco bell invented the perfect american simulated ethnic food delivery vector.

    and they continue to Fuck them up.

    There’s a local (ish?) chain called Rancherito’s (sometimes Beto’s, either name means the same thing) that does Mexican food, well, Tex mex, but they’re famous for giant burritos. They have a burrito that they put flaming hot Cheetos in and it’s wonderful.

    After being reintroduced to them recently even considering going to Taco Bell makes me mad.

    Beto is Alberto for short.

    Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen

    Beto is a male beta, actually.

    “Our vision of [quick-service restaurants] is that an AI-first mentality works every step of the way,” Park said in an interview. “If you think about the major journeys within a restaurant that can be AI-powered, we believe it’s endless.”

    Honestly, pretty sure the Big Cheez-It branded stuff is just "AI" designed garbage from on-high that they tried to somehow make work and failed, because it was doomed from the beginning. It's got that special combination of sounding like something an 8 year old might suggest and the fundamental physical discontinuity between the visuals and the actual thing.

    Side note, I want to try just the Big Cheez-It. Was there an option to just get the Cheez-It itself? Did you try the Tostada version?

    I doubt I will but there's something off about the big Cheez-it. If you order on the app you can just get the tostada without anything on it

    I do not see why you would need AI to invent this I could have invented it. My mom thought that the gas station had a drink called the big chug I think that would be a good name for gas stations that are not 711 and cant call their drink the big gulp

  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    My hest guess is they wanted a Doritos taco for Pizza hut and this was all they had. Then they decided to try it Taco Bell to recover some losses from that mistake. AI is just a cover for executive incompetence

    They added just the big Cheez-it to the menu recently because too many people were ordering the tostada with nothing on it.

    Love it or hate I will always applaud Taco Bell for trying new stuff.

    It doesn’t always work but they are the only major fast food chain I know of that is constantly adding and changing their menu.

    Leave the classics alone though.

    On the other hand KFC is a brand that really does not need to change anything ever and yet they're constantly doing bonkers shit like pizza but the crust is chicken or a sandwich but the bread is chicken. Them being under the same parent company makes a lot of sense in that regard.

    Do you think the experience would have been better, worse, or the same if it was a bunch of individual Cheez-Its in there?

    What if it was a giant Goldfish cracker instead?

    Taco Bell has already peaked with the cheesy gordita crunch. As long as they keep that on the menu I'm good.

    The app logo is now a Cheez-it so I was confused and decided to see why they did such a thing.

    Possibly better if slightly messier.

    Goldfish crackers are vile so worse

    I think more fast food restaurants should try new things for example I had the idea of the mcdonald mega mountain which was a burger where you could decide how many patties you wanted it would come in cheeseburger too

    The idea was you could say 8 patties and get it but there would also be special levels like the McKinley that was 10 patties and the Everest that was 20 patties for the people who want to record it for YouTube

    Also an idea was a version of Subway that was nachos and you would go down the line getting different toppings scooped on them maybe Chipotle could do this I think it would be popular

  • Jr.Jr. Registered User regular
    Also an idea was the Taco Bell footlong and maybe even the Taco Bell 18 which was 18 inches long they would be burritos

    I reckon a Chipotle-style nacho joint would be a good call. Ideally they'd have a big oven to toast the nachos in so you get the crunchy bits around the edges. I expect the actual Chipotle would just dump some queso on top of a bowl of chips and barbacoa and call it a day.

    There was a brief golden period where you could sub the taco shell in a cheesy gordita crunch with a spicy doritos locos shell and it was nothing less than heavenly

    You can still do this with the cheese shell but it does not hit the same

    They made the Doritos shell version it's own menu item.

    I really like the double decker taco. I also really like the beefy 5-layer burrito, which I can get in the cheapass combo box, so we normally do that

    They peaked with the shredded chicken burrito but then they got rid of that because of the intense hatred they have for happiness.

    Is this some US only abomination? I have seen nothing like it here in Canada. The newest thing I've seen at Taco Bell was a pathetic attempt at being fancy by using shredded chicken and guac.
